He: I wanna car for my birthday present?

She: Okay I'll buy you the mini version of the car..

He: But I cannot drive on the mini version car?

She: But you can drive me crazy..

P/s: Love is something you can't buy.

Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Day 8 and day 9 was Christmas day and Boxing day. London was empty during Christmas. No public transportation, shops were closed, and nothing I can do really. We decided not to just stay at home and went out for a stroll at Edgware and Hyde Park. As expected, there were nothing. It's like Kuala Lumpur during first day of Raya. The next day after Christmas is the day which all the Brits call it as Boxing Day. Today is the day for all shopaholics around England to splurge themselves for shopping spree. Rendevous : Oxford Street. Gosh, for the first time of my life I experienced to see thousands of people rushing for shopping and it was crazy. I am not really a big fan of shopping and this is why I found it weird. Sorry to all shopaholics! This remind me of the movie "Confession of a Shopaholics". Hehe. Anyway I managed to buy some new shirts and I got a cheap price too! But of course I'm not too psyched about it haha. And to be fair, Boxing Day is a must-go for all. But need to bear in mind that you guys need to queue at least 20-30minutes when paying the item you wanna buy. Yep, the line is long so be patient, mate.

Boxing Day in London!

This is what I mean. Macam sardine daa..

Anas and Amer are so happy nak shopping!

To Alep, jangan jealous ye?

Oxford Street, London.

P/s: Oh macam mana pula boxing day in Malaysia and New Zealand? Ada bagussss?

Day 5 - 6 - 7.

On day-5 we went to Southampton to pick up Ewan's friend who's studying there because he wants to join our trip to London. The weather was very sunny and nice! Oh this is why I love Pompey! Only 45 minutes away from Pompey, we arrived there at mid-day. It was snowing the night before and we could still see some melting snow around the road. We managed to stopped by at Hilal's house at Honeysuckle Road just to say hi and what not. Their reaction was " Eh ape ko buat kat sini tiba-tiba je datang?" Hahaha..they quite surprised seeing me knocking in front of their door. The rest of the day we just loafing around at the city centre of Southampton. To be honest, the city is boring and dull hahaha. Then we went back straight to Pompey and Anas cooked for our dinner that night. His chicken Tikka Massala pun boleh tahan. Pakai paste boleh lah brader~

On day-6 we decided to look around at Pompey city and went to the sea-shore of the South England. Though the chill windy sea breeze made all of us freezing, the scenic view of Pompey is something to be remembered. We brought Ewan to Gunwharf Quay Outlet Shopping Centre and he was very surprised how things are very cheap in the UK. Another confession of a shopaholic hehe. We had jacket-potato for our lunch as Mama recommended to Ewan to try whenever he's in here. Eating hot food in the middle of chilled weather made us feel...aHH~~....Then at night we catched some movie and it was AWESOME. Avatar was nicee. Very recommended to all cinema-goers. But I dont actually prefer to watch the 3D version sebab pening kepala laa...I'm still a big-fan of 2D High Definition version.

Anas' playground for another 3 years.

Gunwharf Quay, Portsmouth.

Day-7. We took a train to London which only cost us 1pound. Thanx to megatrain winter offer hehe. Arrived in London at 1pm and we went straight ahead to our hostel. It is actually a flat rented by a Malaysian-family business and we got a cheap rate for student. Then we went to the London city and for Ewan, Anas and Amer, it was their first time experience to be in here. Oh we met with Amil and her friends at London Eye and what a coincidence was that? Still cant believe how many coincidence that we had. We then went to Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and all other tourist attractions.

The 5 of us.

With Amil and friends.

Budak SDAR Reunion hehe.

Tower Bridge, London.

Will update on London Boxing Day soon. Oh by the way, tomorrow is Christmas and London Metropolitan City will be like bandar cow-boy. Happy holiday again my friends~

Day 3 & 4

Anas and I departed from Portsmouth at 6pm sharp to London Stanstead Airport to pick Ewan and Amer. The journey took 2 hours and 45 minutes though it says only 2 hours 15minutes on our navigation system. Pepatah melayu berkata, "biar lambat asal selamat." The road were slippery and it's unsafe to exceed the speed limit. It surprised me that motorways (highways) in UK dont have enough street lights and it was pitch dark and scarry. Once again we need to be proud of our PLUS highways. He he. Anyhow, we safely arrived at the airport and snow were everywhere. Beruntunglah si Amer who could experience the real winter with snow. We waited for almost 3 hours at the airport due to flight delay as the weather around UK was horrible. At 12.45am, Amer and Ewan were seen at the arrival gate. Gosh, the last time I met with Ewan was 2 years back! Rambut pendek mesti sebab babah dah jenuh marah dia la tu! Keh keh keh. Welcome to England guys! Dont complain about the weather ye?

Day 2 - relaxing

Day 2 is just for waking up late, pampering the feeling of laziness, having breakfast at 3pm, enjoying a little bit of sunshine down under, and a short trip to the town and wandering around. Portsmouth is great because it has plenty of sunshineee yipppeee! But it’s colder down here though. Never mind, I personally think this city is much better than Sheffield. And the reasons are:

1. Obviously the number 1 reason is the chance of having more sunshine than Sheffield.

2. The city has everything in 1km radius – The train station, the university, the shopping centre, the post office, the football stadium and lastly, the panoramic view of the southern sea. It’s just lovely.

3. It’s much closer to the capital city of England – which is LondON!

4. Can’t think of any reason yet.

Mama called today to just check up my plan about ewan’s trip. Don’t worry ma, everything is under controlled. You can count on me, ma! Tomorrow I will drive to London to pick up my brother,woohoo! I love driving! I purposely bought a set of empty CD to burn some of my favorite music from iTunes just to listen to it while driving.Well everyone knows UK’s radio stations are sucks. Hope for a clear weather tomorrow and safely arrive to and fro London.Till then, later!

Sheffield - London - Pompey (Portsmouth)

It’s Friday morning 18th December. I started my journey down to southern England, Portsmouth to visit my cousin who is currently studying there for his B.Ed in Tesl. Holiday is already here! Feel a bit relaxed and stress-free while enjoying every second of my precious holiday. I’m still on a train to London now and will reach St. Pancras International train station in another 2 hours. The view along my journey is splendid! All over the place is plain white covered with thick snow and it’s still snowing. The very first time it’s snowing on December and this time it’s crazier than previous year. I guess it will be even crazier in the year after. I use every opportunity to keep update my blog throughout my journey all around England. Oh, actually my little brother will come to visit me as he got his “graduation present” from mama and babah. Yeah my adik is already graduated! Cant believe it that he managed to finish his study earlier than me. Ah-ha. Lucky him. Anyway I’m proud of you lil bro. Be a great accountant with Petronas or anywhere you’ll work. Though he went through some rocky roads along to his graduation day, but I think that entire things are worth to go through. You deserve this sponsored trip bro! ;)

Due to the heavy snow downfall, the train experienced some technical problems and we all need to change another train in the middle of the snow blizzard. Arrived at London St Pancras at 3pm and it was crowded with all kinds of people rushing to their hometowns as Christmas is just around. I took a tube to take a train to Portsmouth at London Waterloo train station. Finally I safely arrived at Portsmouth at 5.45pm and its freezing cold down here. Anas picked me up upon arrival at Portsmouth & Southsea train station where his flat is just 5 minutes away. So later peeps, I will keep updating my blogpost the next time I have the chance. Happy holiday!

 

P/s: Watched Home Alone in the train makes the snowy season during Christmas is just too good to be true.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

Have you ever lately think about the consequences of what have you done that begun from just a little thing. At an indefinite of time, little thing means a lot. How significant and momentous the little thing gives impact on your life is how you need to describe it yourself. Only you yourself know how it means a lot to you. Sometimes it will be just a simple as a thoughtful mind of memory that resembles your feeling of concern towards someone. Some might presume it as a feeling of abstract that brings you nowhere closer to happiness, blessedness, euphoria, peace of mind and etc.

Such a small thing. A little cutting in a little pot that will spread its leaves and scent the air for years to come. While kindness is given so softly, so gently, feeling like tiny seed along the path and brightening it with flowers. I strongly believe that it is the net of small kindness, honest feeling that holds humanity together. Though no kindliness is ever too small, it may change someone's day. It changes someone's life perhaps. You may give me your time - the most generous gift of all. But those who give most kindness are those who stay around after the first burst of sympathy is over. Thank you for being there when I was sailed away on something idiotic and waiting around to pick up the pieces without once saying "I told you so".

You like to hear about the ordinary things in my life, just because its me and I'm very grateful that you are a great audience. Thank you for looking out for something that would cheer me up though its silly, but in some ways, its simply enchant me beautifully. The kind heart understands a need before it's spoken and answers it so quietly it seems coincidence. Thank you also for being you- constant in friendship, unfailing in kindness. And these are all because of one little tiny thing where little thing does mean a lot.

Happy holiday

The end of semester 1.

Autumn semester? Done. The past 12 weeks of non-stop learning process of whom might explicate as a long days of knowledge-torturing and mind-blowing input has met to its ending. Though not really feeling any joyous and excited of this ending as there will be a 3 weeks of examinations come January. Ah, exam...another brain damage I will suffer. Stress and anxious and keep counting days to be over. I think I could use some get away for the first week of the winter holiday. I deserve this holiday. So what I have been doing for the past 3 months of a final year student? Well, classes are as usual..I hate morning classes and I think you guys know the reason why. Project progress are well enough, though our group would be the only group which does not need to design any significant and pricey prototype. I would call it as just a research project. Lucky me. Or lucky us? Other than my studies, things are going a bit well I would say. Met new friends (of course the juniors), found new hobby (chatting) hehe, developed some new cooking skills - thanx to new housemates. Days gone by so fast. I cant believe it went so fast till I realised that this is gonna be the last Autumn semester ever for me. How do I perceive it by means of all senses? I Do Not Care. =P

Untitled.

Whether we know it or not, each of us lives a life governed by an internalized code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it belief. Some might as well call it "the Bro Code". For centuries man have attempted to follow this code with no universal understanding of what such an arrangement meant: Is it okay to hug a Bro? If I'm invited to a Bro's wedding, do I really have to bring gift? And the list goes on. Now, for the first time written on paper, I read all these rules of social decorum that Bros have practised since the dawn of man (chewah). The Bro Code previously existed an oral tradition (heh), so I learned all around the world (including world-wide-web) to piece together and transleted the scattered fragments of the Bro Code, pausing only to define it out myself (double heh - heh heh). It is every Bros hope to have a better understanding of the Bro Code and Bros all over the world can put aside their differences and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood. (Disclaimer : Please watch Band of Brothers). It is then, and only then, that we might work together as one to accomplish perhaps the most important challenge society faces - to be a real true Bro. Signing off now, I'm Shahril Fauzi, the true Bro. Heh. =P

P/s: An important distinction must be said: just because a guy is a dude, doesn't mean that dude is a Bro.

Sick Cycle Carousel

'Cause I try to climb your steps
I try to chase you down
I try to see how low I can get down to the ground
I try to earn my way
I try to tame this mind
You better believe that I am trying to beat this

So when will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

Sick cycle carousel, this is a sick cycle, yeah
Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle yeah

I dont know what to say.

I just don't know what to say.

25 Things I Hate About Facebook by JULIAN SMITH!

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube and I think it's an interesting and fun facts about our main social network website, Facebook. Yeah, nowadays people are better connected with Facebook but there are some things that are very annoying as well. Either way, let's see this hillarious video.

P/s: Julian Smith has more videos on his YouTube channel about facebook. Just YouTube his name! =P

Eating disorder.

Since last friday, my stomach has suffered with some inconvenient experience and I believe this is due to high food consumption during Raya Haji. Having rendang kambing, beef curry, sambal kacang and highly fat saturated food for 3 straight days is not a healthy habit. As a consequences, sakit perut all the time la jawabnye. In here, the Brits are very particular of what they eat even its just a snack during lunch time. There's a campaign called "5-A-Day" diet where it describes about a healthy diet for day-to-day food consumption. Basically the purpose of the campaign is to just encourage people to eat more portion of fruits and vegetables for their daily menu. According to research, the average person in the UK eats less than 3 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, instead of the recommended 5. This is even lower amongst young people. It’s a worrying fact. The 5-A-Day programme and website aims to change the way people think, and highlight the healthier benefits of eating more fruit and vegetables. And from their website, I came across to these interesting facts about fruits and vegetables:

1. They're packed with vitamins and minerals.
2. They can help you to maintain a healthy weight.
3. They're an excellent source of fibre and antioxidants.
4. They help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.
5. They taste delicious and there's so much variety to choose from. (durian pun sedap kan?)

Everywhere we look, there’s an expert ready to tell us what we can and can’t eat, how we should lead our lifestyles, what’s good for us and what isn’t. Sometimes it can all seem a bit too much. But there is one message that remains consistent – eating more fruit and vegetables is essential for good health. But we probably won't have to dramatically change our diet to reach the recommended amount of fruit and veg we should eat. From takeaways to ready meals, fruit and vegetables can be found in many things we eat, we just need to know where to look. In UK, fruits are wayyy expensive.. miss musim buah in Malaysia.Durian, rambutan, mangga, langsat, mata kucing, jambu air and the list will never end. Dekat sini apa ada? Fish and chips, kebab and bla bla bla. One word for it - sick.

P/s: Penulis terpaksa bergegas ke restroom berdekatan sebaik sahaja selesai menulis blogpost ini. Sekian.

When only football matters.

Due to recent hiccups of English Premier League regarding top four places, it has raised me up to a point to voice out my opinion as a football fanatic. As a Manchester United die hard fan, I would like to offer a sympathy to our fully "beloved" arch rival Manchester City as they failed to impress the world regarding their performance for recent matches although they made some splendid high profile signing during last summer. Manchester City's bid for a marquee January signing is being subjected to refusal because the world's top superstars claim the club is "not serious", so they are turning their backs on £200,000-a-week wages. Some people are crazy enough to pay such amount of money just to enjoy the game. As for me, "crazy" is only for single minded people who doesnt know the real business of football games in England. Over here, football is money and money is football. They spend millions of money for only one thing and one thing only - PASSION.

The world's richest club urgently need an injection of top class talent to reignite a season that is in danger of falling away with a Premier League record of seven straight draws. What a shame. From a season that some felt would end with Champions League qualification, City are slipping behind. In response, the hierarchy have targeted some mouth-watering talent in the transfer window to help under pressure manager Mark Hughes. There are some eye catching names linked to City, such as Fernando Torres, and the Manchester club would be happy to sign a cheque for £50 million for the Spanish striker. Such a bid was made in the summer and was rejected.

After spending almost £200 million on transfers since Sheikh Mansour's takeover, the club's hierarchy believe the squad has been improved to such a degree that only a few, high-quality acquisitions are required. Club officials say they are highly unlikely to sign more than one player in January, and only then if the asking price is realistic. It's chicken and egg for City; they can lure future galacticos only when they make it into the Champions League, but they need them now to help them get there. An aging superstar might be more likely to take City's £10 million a year offer. The Citizens are keen on the signature of Real Madrid star Guti Hernandez in January. And even the Real's vice-captain has been taking English lessons ahead of a switch to the Premier League. The Spanish international has struggled to get in the first-team since Real's huge spending spree in the summer, and is open to a move away from the Bernabeu.

The alternative for Manchester City, if they cannot attract the right players, is to find a manager who can make it happen, and that is going to put huge pressure on Hughes to get it right. Jose Mourinho would be a big draw for top layers as it would send out the message, that if he turned up at Eastlands, then perhaps they should join him.

No matter what would happen to the top-four clubs, I am optimist enough to convince that Liverpool would never ever, I repeat, never ever reach the prestigous title race of becoming the English champion. Glory-glory Manchester United. United through and through.

P/s: Shame on you Thierry Henry. You brought a whole country of France to such an embarassment of securing a World Cup place in a such a DISGRACE fashion. I think there's a game called "Handball" where you can use your hand as much as you want to score a goal. What a bollocks. (Mind my language)

Pun sa(ha)ja.

I don't wanna be the one to say, "Goodbye"
But I will, I will, I will
I don't wanna sit on the pavement while you fly
But I will, I will
Oh, yes, I will

'Cause maybe in the future, you're gonna come back
You're gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back
You're gonna come back
Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you're gonna come back
You're gonna come back
You're gonna come back to me

I don't wanna be the first to let it go
Oh, but I know, I know, I know
If you have the last hands that I want to hold
Then I know I've got to let them go

'Cause maybe in the future, you're gonna come back
You're gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back
You're gonna come back
Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you're gonna come back
You're gonna come back
You're gonna come back

I still feel you on the right side of the bed
And I still feel you in the blankets pulled over my head
And I'm gonna wash away (I'm gonna wash away)
Oh, I'm gonna wash away everthing 'til you come home to me

Manis itu sweet.

Pertemuan dua insan kadangkala adalah suatu yang rambang dan tidak dijangka malah ada yang mengatakan ia adalah kebetulan dalam sebuah kehidupan. Perkenalan antara dua insan adalah  apa yang terjadi selepas pertemuan. Perkenalan tidak lebih dari mengenali hati budi masing-masing dan juga  berkongsi pengalaman sebuah kehidupan tidak kira kisah lama atau kisah masa hadapan. Apabila kata-kata diluahkan, muncul rasa suka sama suka. Dan kadangkala ia juga menjurus kepada perasaan cinta yang kita sendiri tidak jangka, dan seperti itu jugalah sebagaimana kita mendefinisi tentang erti sebuah pertemuan.

Kehadiran seseorang istimewa dalam hidup adalah suatu norma kehidupan insan biasa. Sedangkan Allah jadikan Hawa untuk menemani Adam sebagai penyeri hidup dan juga menemani hidupnya. Kita semua manusia biasa. Manusia biasa yang tidak lari dari perasaan cinta, perasaan sayang, perasaan kasih dan sebagainya. Namun begitu, adalah sesuatu norma kehidupan juga jika ada datang dan pergi dalam sebuah pertemuan. Sebagai manusia, apa yang kita tahu hanyalah ia semua lumrah kehidupan insan biasa.

Hati yang baik dan ikhlas adalah sesuatu yang kita harus hargai. Hati yang ikhlas membawa erti kepada kejujuran dalam segala perilaku dan tutur kata yang ditunjukkan dalam keikhlasan tersebut. Persahabatan yang ikhlas juga bermakna segala baik dan buruk dapat kita terima dengan hati terbuka. Percayalah semua bahawa persahabatan yang ikhlas kadangkala boleh membawa kepada perasaan sayang dan kasih-mengasihi.

Kita manusia biasa, bukan yang Maha Berkuasa. Segala qada' dan qadar telah ditentukan dan kita hanyalah menjalankan apa yang sudah ditentukan. Usaha, doa dan tawakal sajalah yang hanya mampu kita lakukan. Setiap yang terjadi pasti ada hikmahnya, dan setiap yang terjadi haruslah kita terima dengan hati yg terbuka. Manusia sering alpa bahawa semua ini hanyalah sementara. Ingatlah semua, kebahagiaan di dunia tidak kekal lama.

Kisah hidup kita haruslah kita tentukan sendiri, namun masih ada yang kita harus bergantung padaNya. Ingatlah sentiasa bahawa Dia tahu yang terbaik untuk kita. Usah lah bersedih, kerana esok masih ada dengan izinNya. Setiap yang baik datang daripada Tuhan, dan setiap yang buruk datang dari kelemahan diri ini. Setiap permulaan bermula dengan titik noktah sebuah permulaan yang lain.

Sahabat, aku tidak kemana, tetapi berdiri di sini mengenali dan mencari erti sebuah pertemuan yang ikhlas. Akhir kata, pertemuan kita bukan suatu kebetulan, malah suatu yang telah ditentukan olehNya...

Sekian.

Yang ikhlas,

It was hard.

Easy things are conditionally unfriendly with me. Had experienced more rough-tough times rather than easy and smooth sailing happy times in life. It was 2 hours of brain squashing and mind blowing. I think it's not my area of expertise to think critically and make key-decisions of analytical thinking. Oh Tuhan, why la it must be that freaking hard. And the time you provide was not enough..Dear Maxis Human Resource staff, please dont be such a cruelty and zionis to agonize our hopes to be part of you guys. Real life is not that hard and you need to be realistic to pull-out all the intelligence that we have nurtured since day-1 we became a student. Sometimes I would prefer a realistic and warm person rather than a big-egositic with extrovert ambitious people who have "great" character to become a member of your staff.

Note to self, the assessment has past and what I need to do is to be calmed and just pray for the best outcome. Since I was rejected by ExxonMobil for summer internship last year, I think it is easier for me this time to accept a refusal of offer or in rough words - kene reject lah. I always believe that God has planned for us much better plan and if its not my fate to be there, then it just seem to be in that way. C'est la vie...

I've been robbed.......by the university.

I am really not happy for being fined by the university library. It's just a feeling of doing something nice but at the end of the day, you need to pay a price. My precious ELEVEN POUND STERLING has just gone away in a glimpse of eye. Tak dapat la nak belanja kawan2 makan kat luar. (chewah) haha. Anyway, why the library need to be so strict about books due date? Dont you guys realise that our government pay you THIRTEEN THOUSAND POUND STERLING every year in order for us to proceed our masters degree here. In fact, we pay you that amount of money for four consecutive years. Bear in mind that it's just for an individual amount of money. We have almost 150 Malaysian students registered for your university. And still your service still suck and lack of competence in terms of university facilities. What a shame. I am really not happy. Sheffield Uni, you've robbed me.

Pictures of Khayra's birthday!

I stole all these pictures from Kak Ina's blog. As expected, Kak Ina was the masterplanner of the birthday party. Siap ada tema baju warna pink! Ahaha. I wonder what was Khayra thinking during the party.."Eh kenape semua orang pakai baju pink?", kata Khayra dalam hati hehe.

Sigh~ as usual, uncle pojie was not there.

"hi everyone, welcome to my little party..i'm turning 1 today!"

 

"i'm mum no 1 heroin"

 

"yeayyy party timeee"

 

"khayra with atoks"

"yeay..i am 1 year old already"

1st Birthday

 Khayra and Babah.

My dearest little niece Khayra Bte Shah Faezal turns 1 today. I bet there's a big celebration going on at home right now. I just hope I'm there right now..=( Anyhow, uncle pojie wish you happy 1st birthday and hopefully Khayra dah pandai jalan without the help of the walker hehe. Uncle will buy Khayra a big big present once uncle finish study here ye Khayra? (Macam la dia boleh baca blog uncle dia ni)

Happy Birthday baby!!

P/s: I'm waiting for pictures from Kak Ina. Mesti dia orang yang paling seronok kat rumah tu hahaha.

The Coolest Romantic Comedy of the year.

Since my weekends were full of shites, I think I could use some leisure time to watch a casual romantic comedy movie..you know, something that could cheer me up a little bit? Heh. I randomly downloaded this movie and.......it was AWESOME....not because the movie is awesome, but I think the plot of the story is the carbon-copy of my real life story..two thumbs up for Joseph Gordon-Levitt for "playing" my part of the story. Hahahah. My favourite part is on the last 20 minutes. It's pure cool! Go go go watch this movie!

500 Days of Summer

In dire need of a peaceful state of mind

Life has been hectic. It has been 9 weeks since I left my lovely home back in Subang Jaya. Though I enjoyed this frantic and busy-ness of a student life, I think this is the time where I need to keep things run in slower pace - at least for a while. Last week was my worst week ever. Well what I can say is most shits in my life happened on that particular week where I will definitely would like to delete and erase permanently from my mind. Being a student, to be specific final year engineering student is quite busy. Engaged with so many things from lectures, project tasks, group meetings, and.....huh football. I have tried to put some focus towards my studies and projects but all what I thought was only football. Totally football. It's healthy in some perspective but it's unhealthy when you had too much football, which is when you neglect your main responsibility of being a university student. I feel sorry to myself for being such a blockhead.

A friend of mine came to me right after monday morning lectures and what she said was " Hey Shah! U look so tired today..Have you been studying for the whole weekend?" Yeah you're right my friend. I have been "studying" too much football and as the consequences I look very tired and worn out for the lectures. This is what I said when football makes you unhealthy..and this is totally true.

For now, I need to run things more efficiently which is by getting things done. It will be less than 5 weeks before the winter holiday starts and I really need to plan ahead for my exams preparation. (Now I realised why some of my friends call me skema) Well, I think I am not. I just prefer to think in one step ahead so that I will be prepared in anything I do. Hahaha.

The only thing that I wish to keep running in high pace is the time. You'll never realised how time flies. Counting down life after graduate are just only 35 weeks and 1 day. So now I hereby pledge to myself to be back on track. Godspeed.

Mari bergambar dan bersuka ria

"Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home."

The season of depress - winter.

Since it's winter, I spend most of the time hibernating in the room. Laptop is my precious companion. Without it, I have to admit that I will have no life. What do I meant by my life here is wake-up, go to lectures, meetings, lab session, playing football, surfing the world-wide-web, watching live footie on tv with friends, ocassional night-out dinner, and.....I think that summarise all? Yeah...welcome to winter shahril! My last ever winter I will enjoy here. And I will guarantee you that winter shall not be missed. Depressed. Stuck in the room doing things that only I can do indoor. And I'm not surprise that sometimes this could kill me! I mean my emotion only. Please note that. Oh here are some pictures of my desk. I mean my "workstation" during the winter, the depress season of all. Countdown for spring and summer season begins now....

 

Hari minggu di Nottingham

Nottingham Games is a compulsory event to attend for every Malaysians studying in UK. Though its objective is to hold sports events, people seems to go there just to meet old friends, like a mini reunion or just a weekend getaway. For guys, its also can be called as The Tournament of The Year. When we said about Notts Games, it means BIG. Like I said, this is the biggest event of the year amongst students in UK. People will come from all around England just to compete in games and take the challenge! And every year, my friends and I would play for the football tournament that being joined by 60 other universities too. Our target was just to play for fun. Winning a game is a bonus. Hehe. I did really enjoy my last ever Notts Games. Losing is our traditional outcome for every Notts Games we participated but hey, what is more important is to have joy and laugh during the games. (Ayat nak sedapkan hati) Hahaha. After all, we really had great time there. And now I'm suffering from muscle strain, sakit tengkuk, and bruised knee thanks to Nottingham Games 2009!

P/s: Having a hall full of Malaysian food was also something else. Nevermind that a teh tarik cost me £1.

Senyum nervous before first match.
